Hi Lauren, this year I'm limiting myself to the things I found I can grow well AND will actually eat - tomatoes, cucumbers, scarlet runner beans, honeynut squash, a couple potato bags, and that might be it....but then I always add more...like, I need to have 2 zucchini, etc...my space is already full with all listed above.…

I lost a few days somehow...have just caught up on posts. This is the only group I've ever participated in on the internet - you guys are so inspiring. Not only for your wins and ideas but for your life challenges and chaotic lives. I started to slide the last two days...back today for a perfect day. Mum's doc appt on Tue…

Back to work, time to get back on track. Cat woke me so early I have loads of time to prep 4 great salads.
-
So, I'm in the midst of something that will typically drive me to eat...anything and lots of it. Last day to do my taxes, looking for the paperwork that I tucked in a "safe place" and CAN NOT FIND IT. Posting here instead.

Well, yesterday was a blowout but I did have two successful 'no's - nearly opened the bag of potato chips to go with an evening wine but said 'no' and also said no and threw in the trash 3 'milk chocolate flavored bunnies'....I know how that tastes - if I'm going to eat chocolate, I want to eat real and good chocolate. Got…

@jugar hope you had a good drive and, with your car repair, uneventful. I'm sure your stepmom really appreciated the time away - I know I sure would! @ashleycarole86 much of the grand jury day was sitting around waiting but then I got my turn to be asked questions (that I knew ahead) about some jerk who took $30,000…

@jugar thanks again for the pickle tip - going to set some up right now - must go and give evidence to a grand jury today....if it's not one thing, it's another, right out of the blue. Have a nice time with your dad and turn a blind eye to the cupboard full of naughty snacks. @planemonkey I've got the same feeling as…

Dill pickle snacks! Can't remember who talked about them a long time ago, but I've reintroduced them to my menu - great to bring to work (cut up into small pieces) - crunchy and barely any calories. I've also decided that always having some chicken sausages in the fridge (the precooked kind, aidell's andouille or any other…

Sunday I caved...but logged every bite...I didn't cry about it too much - walked 17,000 steps and my intake was only slightly over what I put out. Today has been much better. only 6 pm and I could so easily go to my bed...weary today

Good morning on Sunday. Weekends are harder for self control for me, the day is less structured and the food is all there. After a Friday evening social that went 'ok' foodwise - I was faced with Saturday, and the slight craving for salty fatty goods (from the wine Fri pm). I said no to potato chips and served up vanilla…

@jugar PW 164.2 CW 161 ok, gotta keep this up, it's nice to be in the green for a change after last month's disaster!
-
post get together with old friends - certainly I didn't end up keeping track of what I was eating but a nibble here and there... and there again...we'll see tomorrow's weigh in. I picked up a couple of salad type things with a gift certificate I had. The new discovery was green pea 'guacamole' - VERY tasty, have found a…

@KellyBgetsfit I think lack of sleep makes everything ELSE 10 times worse...hope you can get some solid zzzzs so you can feel stronger (mentally!) dealing with all the rest. @ashleycarole86 that is a huge change in your lives and your mothers! hope it all settles down to a pleasant situation. :) Said 'no' the other night…

yesterday was a long day cramming a lot in -doc visit, bjs run, and late night at the office, but I did manage to stick to the plan and still grilled chicken and minipeppers for my supper - so happy to have the grill cleaned and back in action. Bought some zucchini for grilling later in the week. Said 'no' twice yesterday…

Congrats on the puppy and you've picked a great breed for exercise! I had to look up Alusky and see this....."These dogs are very active and will be a great match for owners who love to bring their dogs on walks or runs." :)
-
a win: late yesterday, after work, mum popped a frozen blackberry tart into the oven, while I was preparing my fish supper. That, and seeing that @Blissfulk had done 100 minutes of exercise...motivated me and I went for a half hour walk, came back, said 'No' to the delicious smelling tart, and had my fish/broc/potato…

Starting off Monday on a positive note - Sammy the cat no longer constipated after 2+ days & I don't have to bring him to the vet!! Honestly, the things I have to keep track of in this household!! :D Did loads of garden work yesterday and needed a tylenol before bed; woke not quite as creaky. @lauren_989 reminds me that…

Sylvia, 53 in Massachusetts USA, My weight's been way up and down for decades, never able to hang on to the lower weight for long before it creeps or gallops back up again. Had great success in 2020, and this group was a big part of that. But maintenance has been difficult especially in the last 6 months - I've gained back…
-
@jugar CW 164.2 when does the new month begin!!! :s
-
What can you do right now to make the coming week(s) less stressful? - I did it on Monday morning - packed up 4 salads and yogurts and apples to put in the work fridge. I needed a mental pass from weigh in last Sat. as much as having forgotten Sat. morning. It's been TOO crazy here...I won't even start to rattle the list…
-
@jugar....I'd already started my day, and eating, when I realized I hadn't weighed in. Can I take a 'pass' for this week pls.
-
@jugar PW 160.1 CW 162.1 Surprisingly, I'm not upset about this gain - I think because I completely knew that what I was intaking in the last week was ridiculous. Starting a new week feeling like maybe I can get back in the good rhythm I need to. A big walk yesterday is a start. Prepped up some salads today. And maybe it's…

@planemonkey " I lie in bed and get mad at myself for food and exercise choices and I get all motivated then as the day goes on I relax, start to slip with choices, and don't carry out the plans I made in the morning." @Terytha "I'm just not... there. Mentally. I know what I need to do but it's so much harder than it was."…
-
@jugar PW 157.3 CW 160.1 I'm disgusted. This week will try to shed my sweet craving...no added sugars or fruit for 10 days.
-
After a blowout on Sunday which I decided to allow, and have it as a free from logging day...it dragged out to Monday (combined with some stressful family argument). Starting fresh again today. Lots of good food choices prepped and some of those devilish temptations are now gone.
-
@jugar PW 160.9 CW 157.2 it was a good week, ate pretty much the same thing every day but enjoyed what I had, weighed all, logged those 3 haagen daz mini bars when I was going to have just 1, and claimed a shelf on the mostly empty work fridge for my daily salads (spinach/lettuce/blue cheese/craisins/boiled egg/my balsamic…
-
because of the habit tracker...I forced myself out into the cold for a walk late afternoon...it was gorgeous, although it looks like winter still, tree buds are swelling and birds are singing.

@veronica1359 I don't know but it's a birthday greeting that makes you smile :) @micki48 big hug going out to you I've learned a lesson - on long Tuesday when I work 'til 7 pm - I need to have a nice dinner waiting on a plate ready for zapping in the microwave. and then...immediately, as @jugar does, I need to brush my…

@jugar - the Cuban jazz sounds great and glad you got out to play with them!! If they ever put the video online - post the link. @ells_bellz I've got the same 10 lb goal for long March - it won't be easy but let's do it!! I had a good day food-wise. My daily salads are in the work fridge (eases the congestion in the house…
